I don't think you can really look past him this week, he's been in the running for five weeks now, and he's the player who deserves it the most. Great to see him chipping in with two goals and Scully with his first ever AFL goal, and it was a great one too.

Go Trenners.

he's looked good so far, but he hasn't been deserving of a nom until tonight... great game...

Truely justified his selection in my team, the Deestroyers, tonight. May help me get over the line in my league match. Inspired choice by me... funny thing is before this game i just bought Bail, but my emergencie is jetta, who is also in my opponents team, so end result = nulification. Sweet sweet nulification. Gotta be non plused with that.

He is just so freakin talented. But its his footy smarts which will see him become a champion.

Might not need to trade him out of my supercoach team for a profit if he keeps posting those numbers

If Jack Trengove keeps this up, he will win hands down. Nic Nat does not perform week in week out.

I guess all the media has gotten to his head.

Yeah well said....Tengrove...you bloody beauty.

No. More likely a young talented kid playing inconsistent football as he learns the game at the top level. Just move on. Your's and others paranoia regarding Nik Nat and Watts is unsettling.

It's going to be ok. Watts will be a star, just suck it up and allow them both to play some great footy.

WTF, who said anything about Watts?

Goes alright for a kid, doesn't he? As dirty as I was on the tanking I am finding it harder and harder to maintain the rage these days.

ah its great to see Trengrove and Scully running hard, they are both stars in the making

It's great too be a Dee really really impressed hated not wanting too win last year but "under the rules" it was worth every loss thank god we did not have too pick between scully and trengove!

Despite losing the clearances tonight, our midfielders (along with the rest of the team) were absolutely fantastic! Jordie, Jack and Tom all played their roles and when called upon delivered blows to Brisbane on the scoreboard. Great to see goal kicking midfielders. So important to a team without a key tall.

Yes but, we are going to need a key tall. Eventually.

Melbourne are thinking that Cal Morton might be able to be played up forward. He is 192 cm - 6'4'

Heard Cam Schwab talk about this.

Trengove was super last night, he has to get the nomination surley. GO DEE'S!

It's always been my vision for Cale.

He'll be able to get up the ground and run defenders into the ground.

He'll be alright, will Cale.

I think that's true. Geelong however, won two premierships without a key tall forward. Johnson is a Jurrah/Petterd type. Chapman is a bit a of a Jones. Mooney...er, well who wants a Mooney? (not exactly a big imposing CHF).

Lots of goals from midfielders can win you finals. That way if your big gun gets towelled you can still find a way to win.

But I'd love to have a big gun.

Loved Trengove's work last night. Showed real class.

Scully was good too I thought. Both have settled in nicely.

That's mainly because Black played ridiculously well (especially considering his less-than-optimal fitness).

Black did look proppy.

Couldn't figure out how he kept ending up with the pill, but luckily he lacked the explosiveness to use it too well.

Looking at the two kids we all thought were most likely for rising star nods, I get very excited by a couple of very important comparisons.

Look at Rich and Palmer. Two guys who averaged a lot of disposals in their first seasons, but were regarded as perhaps players who's ceilings weren't as high as their early career form suggested. For both, it was thought they were already bigger bodies so wouldn't have all that far to go. Rish, it is believed hasn't quite got the engine, and Palmer doesn't have the disposal effectiveness. At the time I thought these were very petty reasons not to believe a player is going to dominate.

But cast your eye over Scully and Trengove's games. Trengove just doesn't have a weakness. None. Usually there'd be awareness, kicking skill, footy brain, engine... Perhaps a lack of physicailty. No. Not a sausage. Trengove is among the best first year players we've ever seen in these regards. And Scully's much debated kicking issues, while still there, don't seem to hamper him so much. Maybe the fact he's a bit up and under when he kicks 40+ metres has caused him to rely on a running game more. Whatever the reasoning, like Trengove, he doesn't have any weaknesses.

The longer they go, the more I am stunned at what they're capable of. And the more I think it's just too good to be true. :D

And now I regret moving Bastinac into my SuperCoach team over Trengove, which was purely based on form. Trenners gets 129, Bastinac 28. DANG

The highs and lows of young players.

I expect to see Bastinac V Scully on the weekend. Why wouldn't you put pick 20 something on his best mate and pick number 1 if you were Scott. Both incredibly fit young guys.

I would say he is a tad slow but besides that he is a gem! Scully and Trengove will both be amazing players for the melbournefc but i feel scully will be the better of the 2 but not by much at all!

I think you can't really say who is better, because Sculls is an in-and-under midfielder who is great at winning the contested ball, and Trenners is a free running midfielder who can hit targets and kick goals.

It is indeed a good problem to have. I can't get over how composed they both looked against Brissy. Looked like 100+ gamers.
